Professor Kenji YOKOYAMA from Nagoya University School of Business and Trade (Japan) gave an open lecture at the Master in International Management program

On December 15, Professor Kenji YOKOYAMA, Vice Dean, School of Business, Nagoya University of Trade and Business (Japan), held an open lecture for undergraduate students of the International Business Program and graduate students of the International Management Program on the significance and specifics of family business in the Japanese economy.
Family business is the backbone of Japan's economy; this island nation is home to a large number of the oldest family businesses. Most businesses that have existed for more than 100 years are owned and run by families: they possess the secrets and management knowledge acquired over the long history of the companies. Understanding these secrets is especially important for those who are thinking about starting their own business, interested in management and business in Asian countries, planning to do business in the Japanese market or implementing joint business with Japanese partners. Students had a unique chance to get acquainted with numerous examples of family companies in Japan, learn their history and peculiarities of management in modern conditions. At the end of the open lecture students asked Professor Yokoyama a lot of questions on the topic of the lecture and on the specifics of modern Japanese management.
